Sequence.referenceSeq
Definition

Reference Sequence. It can be described in two ways. One is provide the unique identifier of reference sequence submitted to NCBI. The start and end position of window on reference sequence should be defined. The other way is using genome build, chromosome number,and also the start, end position of window (this method is specifically for DNA reference sequence) .

Control0..*

Sequence.allelicState
Definition

The level of occurrence of a single DNA Sequence Variation within a set of chromosomes. Heterozygous indicates the DNA Sequence Variation is only present in one of the two genes contained in homologous chromosomes. Homozygous indicates the DNA Sequence Variation is present in both genes contained in homologous chromosomes. Hemizygous indicates the DNA Sequence Variation exists in the only single copy of a gene in a non- homologous chromosome (the male X and Y chromosome are non-homologous). Hemiplasmic indicates that the DNA Sequence Variation is present in some but not all of the copies of mitochondrial DNA. Homoplasmic indicates that the DNA Sequence Variation is present in all of the copies of mitochondrial DNA.
